Uncertain Future is known as one of the albums that established a distinctive thrash metal sound in the field of Seattle music. Musically, this album is a characteristic blend of thrash metal, speed metal, punk and progressive elements. These elements crystalized the "technical/progressive thrash" sound that Forced Entry would expand and improve on their next album As Above, So Below.[2][1]

AllMusic[3]

AllMusic's John Book awarded the album four-and-a-half stars out of five, saying, "They changed the world of thrash with their debut album in 1989, featuring eerie power chords, awesome vocals, and a tremendous bass guitar sound. For an album recorded on a low budget, the sound is impressive. This album has yet to be appreciated by the masses."[3]
